Micromachining

Excimer polymide machining, ±0.5µm positioning tolerance between burn patterns, ±1µm pattern to pattern positioning tolerance over 30ft Roll. This machine was integrated with a high level of collaboration between the customer, laser vendor, and optics beam delivery system developer. We also conducted extensive feasibility and process development work.

Precision drilling of catheters and other components—percussion, trepanning.

We have processed a variety of materials including aluminum, plastics, coatings, stainless steel.

Laser Ablation and Cutting

We have built numerous machines around material processing using laser ablation and cutting (web materials, plastics). Some interesting examples include:

Web processing machines using single to several laser processing stations for ablation, part reject marking, patterning, and excising segments. Some machines use a number of different laser technologies to meet the needs of the different process steps.
